Hello to all,
I own a Hex S and I power it up with the 24V/1.2 A power supply (RouterOS 6.48) included in the box.
I tried to attach a cAP ac unit to the #5 Ethernet Passive PoE port of the Hex S, which provides a 500mA max output (i.e. 12W under 24V).
The Hex S has a maximum power consumption of 6W (or 24W in total “with attachments”) and cAP ac has a max power consumption without attachments of 13W. Thus, 13 + 6 = 19W total power consumption, well within the 28W offered by the included power supply.
As the cAP ac (both chains active but no wireless client connected) keeps on rebooting every 5-8 minutes when attached using this configuration (i.e. PoE, set to forced on) instead of an individual PSU, is this going to be remedied by changing the 24V/1.2A power supply to the Hex S by a 48V one (e.g. the 48V2A96W one)?
When a 48V PSU is used, the 500 mA max current output of the #5 Ethernet port of Hex S can provide up to 24W of power to the attached cAP ac. A 48V/1A PSU would give enough wattage for both units to operate properly (48W).
Has anyone used a 48V PSU with Hex S or has a similar configuration (Hex S + cAP ac & PoE)?
